HELP APPRECIATED!
I'm currently looking at the possibility of using agent-based modelling and
social simulation on a computer to analyse attack and defence strategies in
guerrilla warfare and terrorism, particularly with a view to sharpening up
some of the conjectures and claims that are widespread in the literature on
guerrilla warfare and political violence.
If anyone can point me to relevant agent-based projects anywhere in the
world I would be grateful and, of course, I would welcome dialog with
anyone else interested in this application of ABM.
Note that I am already aware of the (somewhat optimistically titled!)
ISAAC/EINSTein project at the CNA in Virginia.
